Configuring AWS Greengrass on AWS IoT

Sign in to the AWS Management Console on your
computer and open the AWS IoT console. If this is the first time opening this
console, choose Get started.

Next, choose Greengrass:

On the Welcome to AWS Greengrass page, choose Get
Started:

Create an AWS Greengrass group. An AWS Greengrass group contains information about
the devices and how
messages are processed in the group. Each AWS Greengrass group requires an AWS Greengrass
core device
that processes messages sent within the group. An AWS Greengrass core needs a certificate
and an AWS IoT policy to access AWS Greengrass and AWS Cloud Services. On the Set up your
Greengrass group page, choose Use easy
creation.

Type a name for your group (for example,
MyFirstGroup), then choose
Next:

Use the default name for the AWS Greengrass core, and choose
Next:

On the Run a scripted easy Group creation page,
choose Create Group and Core.

AWS IoT creates an AWS Greengrass group for you with default security policies and
configuration files for you to load onto your device.

On the confirmation page, choose Download these resources as a
tar.gz to download the required security resources for your
AWS Greengrass core. Next, choose Download Greengrass version
x.x.x
to download the AWS Greengrass core binary for the CPU architecture corresponding
to your
device. If you're using a Raspberry Pi, the architecture is
ARMv7l. If you're using an Amazon EC2 instance, the
architecture is x86_64.

Important

Only choose Finish after you have downloaded both
the security resources and the AWS Greengrass core binary.
